Representin' Rhode Island



As I was flipping through the channels, I came across BET's Ballers. Essentially, the program focuses on today's main sports stories...but, comes with an urban twist. Tonight's show featured the likes of John Salley, Steven A. Smith, Baron Davis, Paul Pierce, and Claudia Jordan...among others.

Needless to say, this show is nothing special....except for Claudia Jordan (works as a guest correspondent), whom is a goddess. The best part about her? Well, my research tells me that Claudia, 34, grew up in Rhode Island. That's right, R.I. is slowly (but surely) taking over the world.

Claudia Jordan was a fixture as one of "Barker's Beauties" on The Price Is Right, from 2001 - 2003. Currently, Jordan serves as a model on Deal or No Deal and dates U.S. Olympic sprinter Maurice Greene.

It should also be noted that Jordan held the Miss Rhode Island Teen USA 1990 title and represented Rhode Island at the Miss Teen USA 1990 pageant. In 1997, she won the Miss Rhode Island USA title, becoming the third Miss Rhode Island Teen USA to win a Miss USA state title. She competed at Miss USA 1997, and placed in the semi-finals.
